Run Up and down the mount for one week

In the Christmas holiday's I stayed at the mount camping ground for about two weeks next to where Travis was staying and every second morning I would go around the mount. One morning I asked If I could run up and down to get fitter, and my Dad said yes, he told me that he and my brother would walk it and I could run.

I was thinking about how to pace it out so I said that I would run everything but the every second lot of steps on the way up and run down. I ended up running most of it because I took the gravel four wheel drive track. On the way up It was very hard but I was eager to make it to the top. Once I got about half way it had only been 10 minutes. For the last half my calfs felt like they were going to fall off which they didn't. In total on the way up it took me 16 minutes. I paused the timer at the top and stood and looked at the view for 5 minutes and then made my way back down.

On the way down I was thinking for an aim time and I came up with 10 minutes and for the total time about 30 minutes. When I was running down the gravel path it was really slippery so I had to go a little bit slower. Once I reached the other side where the sun was I felt like I was nearly there which I was. My final time for coming down was 12minutes and my total time overall was 28minutes which I was very impressed with. So I decided that I would do that for a whole week and see how much I improve and I will write it all down on a piece of paper.

TIMES:
Tuesday 28
Wednesday 24
Thursday 30
Friday 31
Saturday 25
Sunday 26
Monday 30

I think the reason why my times went up and down is because of the wether and some times the time of day and the amount of people that we there and getting in my way. I enjoyed doing it and it was really fun, I am going to do it again next year or the next time that I am there.
